FAQ

 

Q:  Will Miranda have her happily ever after?

 

A:  Yes, I have assured my readers that Miranda will get her HEA.  As for who that lucky person is, I'm not saying, other than she has already met the one who she will wind up with.  Whether or not he will be a popular choice . . . time will tell.

 

Q:  How many books are you planning for your Seven Deadly Veil Series?  I know it says seven, but will you write more?

 

A:  Right now my brain can only fathom seven novels, that's why I called it the 7 Deadly Veils series, but who knows?  My friends are already asking for spinoffs and I have several characters in mind for that.

 

Q:  What gave you the idea for these novels in particular?

 

A:  After years of watching horror, sci-fi, action movies, and reading countless paranormal romance novels, I thought that it might be fun to shows my friends how my overactive imagination works.  In the beginning, it was just for fun.  Now, it's hard work.  But I strive to make my friends proud of my work and mostly to entertain them.  They're a rough crowd, but they have been my support system and my source of inspiration.

 

Q:  How long do you normally spend on writing one of your novels?

 

A:  To write a novel, it usually takes me about 3-4 months, then additional time to edit and revise.  Each novel is different in length so it varies.

 

Q:  Where do you get your inspiration from? 

 

A:  The Muses continually inspire me.  Funny you should ask that, though.  Sometimes the Muses sing arias to me when I dream, other times they offer only whispers, and then they just disappear and seem to go on extended vacations.  But thank God, they always come back to me.  And of course, my characters don't let me get much sleep, they are constantly whispering to me they want more page time.  I think you can tell which characters have the loudest voices.


Q:  Who is your favorite hero in The Seven Deadly Veils?  Why?

 

A:  People always ask me which character is my favorite.  Again, it depends on the book, but Remare seems to hold the biggest part of my heart.  Lately, Orion has been getting snugly with me.  But to tell the truth, each character has his/her own allure, even the villains.

 

Q:  Who is your favorite villain in The Seven Deadly Veils? Why?

 

A:  Besides the dreaded HOL, I would have to say Brandon because he has the face of an angel, yet is truly loathsome underneath; the possibilities are endless with him.  In the books to come, there will be other interesting characters to choose from that will rival his evil intentions.

 

Q:  Who is your favorite secondary character?

 

A:  At the moment,I would have to say Nick.  I just adore that character, but there are others I find adorable as well.  I have to say, on any given day my tastes change.

Q:  Who is your favorite secondary couple?

 

A:  I would have to say Lizandra & Gavin.  They make beautiful music together.

 

Q:  Will all of the major characters survive?

 

A:  At least one of the major characters will be killed off before the end of the seires.  But I'm not saying who.  No spoilers.
